Jim’s Secret Thoughts

Today as I lined up to order the menu of the day, there was a lady beside me busy filling ice into the display for the cakes. She was taking the ice out of a large container on wheels. It was almost full of crushed ice. Funny, I thought, how the ice doesn’t melt. Yet, if one piece of ice was to fall on the floor it would melt very quickly.

Why does the ice in the container not melt? Well of course its because the rest of the ice keeps it cold. Together the ice stay at freezing, alone, those ice pieces lose their freezing temperatur and melt.

Its the same with us, isn’t it? We have strength in numbers, as the saying goes. Even the Bible tells us not to neglect meeting together. And why does it say this? Successful millionaires will tell you the same - you will be like those you spend time with. Its true! Take a look at your five closest buddies and you will see yourself.

So what do the millionaires say to do to change your image? Change your associates! Its as clear and simple as that. Find those who you want to be like and spend time with them, and do not neglect meeting, listening and speaking with them, and you will become like them.

You now have a chance to learn from twelve world-famous millionaires, philanthropists and business leaders who want to show you their insider secrets to not only generating ideas that can make millions of dollars, but also reveal how to implement your idea, stay on track, and take it to the finish line.

And they want to do it for FREE! All you have to do is to donate to a good cause and help raise more funds. I have, and I want to raise enough to build two schools for needy children. Will you help me? Go to my donation site immediately and let’s get started.

Many people want success. Many long for better results. But unless they do this ONE thing they will never succeed.

What is the ONE thing which separates most people form the successful and wealthy? Which ONE thing, which if you do it, will catapult YOU into the realm of the successful?

No matter what it is you want to be, want to have or want to do, if you fail to do this one thing you will never, never succeed.

All you need to do is this ONE thing. What is it? What do you need to do to acquire the success the so desire?

Just this week I came to realize what this ONE thing is. I am in a mentoring program called Wealth Lab which helps us build on our own business idea. I have just got great ideas to promote our business. These ideas are great. But unless I do the ONE thing needed I will get nowhere. So what is that ONE thing which your and I must do in order to succeed? Simply this…

Get up off your butt and act! That’s it! That’s all there is to it! This is the single thing which separates the great from the small - the act of doing something!

How many great ideas and well worked out plans never succeed simply because someone didn’t get up of his butt to do it? How many ideas have you and I had which die away, simply because we did not do this ONE thing needed for success - we did not get up to act. We stayed stuck in our comfort zone. Strange, isn’t it? We will be in pain over our current circumstances yet we do not move out of the familiar in order to face the unfamiliar circumstances revolving around the new idea.

Friend, its time to ACT! Its time to get up and go and do that ONE thing which will separate you from your peers and propel you into a new world of possibilities. You know what it is. Just do it!

We are back on land after a fantastic week at sea in the Carribean. The Bob Proctor cruise was outstanding. We were able to talk to many people about our book and many are interested to read it. We also made new friends. The speakers were inspirational, Peggy McColl, Vic Johnson, Mark Victor Hanson, Debbie Ford, Larry Wilson, Bob Proctor, and others. They shared their secrets of success, from internet businesses to ideas and controlling those paradigms.

Oh yes, and we did stop at a few ports, Nassau, Ocho Rios and George Town.

Now its back to putting all that great knowledge to work. Believe in my success, hold my vision, build the web site, promote our book and ourselves, and watch our business grow. And most exciting, see others move from the stuck lives of stress and restriction to lives of self determination and freedom.

On the ship we also were moved to make a contribution to build schools in Africa, a much needed resource to educate the children so they don’t accept poverty but move forward into prosperity. This is not to boast but to give you the opportunity to help also. As soon as I receive the link (the disadvantages of filling in forms on a ship) I will post it here for your consideration.

Keep looking up towards your vision and make it happen.

Wow! Two months went by since I wrote here! We’ve been super busy with our book and our brand new business idea. I hope to get some pages up today on our new website to begin attracting a hungry audience. (You can check it out later when some content is there www.wingsofchangelife.com)
Our book is complete, yeehh! Well almost. I have just finished reading the final draft and now it goes to the editors and the printers. So expect our hardcover hot off the press mid-December.

We’re looking for a book dispatcher. If you know anyone who would be interested in storing and dispatching (as orders come in) about 2000 books from the UK please have them get in touch.

Yes, its that time of year again. This coming weekend we are flying off to Fort Lauderdale to join Bob Proctor and his friends on their second cruise, this time in the Caribbean. It’s going to be a wonderful week, full of teaching, sharing and a great fun time. We will of course be promoting our book as new authors - that’s exciting.

Would you like to pre-taste / pre-test part of our new workbook to accompany our book? We have developed a simple test to uncover your inner desire and discover your purpose, our Purpose Projection Profiler. If you would like to test this and you are willing to give some feedback, then just make a comment and ask for the PPP.

Have an exciting week and if you’re going to be on the Eurodam be sure and seek us out.

Its been a while since I posted and a Wordpress upgrade messed up my old Theme, so i had to find a new one. In the meantime I have observed an interesting development in my own progress in pursuit of my purpose.

My wife and I had thought of building a center, a physical location, to offer our services. After some mentoring and self analysis we realized that, although the services are our hearts’ desire, the center was not. At the time we had thought the center was our vision and goal. Now, looking back, I realize that the feelings we had for the center and all what it involved were not exciting us. The idea did not resonate with our vision of helping others.

This got us rethinking about our purpose. Our purpose statement changed only slightly, as our desire is to teach others and help them release the old paradigms and live their life’s purpose. Now we are getting excited at our new vision - to bring our services to others wherever it is required without the restriction of a center. Soon our “center” will be a web portal, backed by our upcoming book “Wings of Change”, where we will offer our various services online and offline.

So what can we all learn from this? It is important to be in tune with your purpose. If it doesn’t FEEL good then reexamine your motives and plans. Is what you are doing exciting you? Are your plans resonating with your vision, in that they excite you just to think of it. That feeling in the stomach is the result of your intuition and is to be heeded. Does it feel right? Then do it. Maybe it doesn’t feel wrong, as in our case, but if it doesn’t lift your level of expectation then really sit down and analyze it. Is this what you really want to do? Does it expand your vision?

Lets not get trapped by business in doing things related to our goals if they are really getting in the way and hindering us reaching our goals. Find the thing that moves you closer to your dream and do that. Have you had any similar experiences? Why not leave a comment and tell us about it.

If you would like to learn about writing your purpose statement, ask me for Bob Proctor’s article on “Purpose, Vision and Goals”.

What do you really want? Why are you reading this? What are you looking for? What is missing in your life that causes you to Google and search for stuff pertaining to the thing occupying your mind right now? What brought you here?

Do you know what you want? Or are you blindly searching for something without knowing exactly what? Perhaps you are more clear about what you don’t want. You don’t want this situation any longer. You don’t want to live this way any more. You don’t to struggle with money any more. You don’t want to feel helpless and useless. You are fed up with being fed up.

I would like to challenge you tell me what you really want. Consider the things you don’t want and now think of what you want in their place. What is it? Is it possessions, a relationship, a job, a situation? Or maybe something deeper, like an understanding of the world and why things happen the way they do. What makes you tick? What excites you? Where is your button? Tell me, I want to press it!

I am serious. Tell me what makes you live and move. If all restrictions and limitations were removed what would you be doing right now?

Why do I want to know? Because I believe that what I have learned and what has brought me to the point of writing a book with my wife (soon to be published) and to consider building such a business which scares us skinny even now, can help you be where you want to be, do what you want to do and be the person you want to be. Be bold! I dare you!

“I wish” is one of those phrases used to make life a little brighter. Many times I spoke of what I wished to have or do. I wished many things, but they only remained wishes, distant dreams of a better life and things to possess which I had accepted would never be.

We live our lives in misery, pepping ourselves up a little with our day dreams, but never really believing that they can come true. “Dreams don’t come true”, we hear from others when we speak about our dreams, and then we convince ourselves that they are right and we give it up and turn it into a fantasy wish. But occasionally one dream jumps out into fulfillment.

Think back on those dreams which seem to have come true. Are they not those which emotionally got hold of you and which you wouldn’t let go of? I propose that if you treated every wish like this then every wish would come true.

The trick is to consciously and deliberately dream. Pick your dream and describe it in detail, its best to write it down. Now start dreaming and really get emotionally involved, put feeling into it. Feel what it is like to be in possession of that dream already now. Pretty soon you will be seeing things related to your dream all over the place, you will meet people and receive ideas.

What happens here is the intention of mind attracting like vibrations. You are tuning in to those things, situations and people which are related to your dream. This is why it is so important to focus on your dream and never give up. Stick with it. You can dream your dream into reality. And you may find it helpful to stop talking about your dream to those who say dreams don’t come true. You will see, they do!

In my last post I promised some tips to help you find your purpose. Going by the comments my article received not everyone believes in a purpose, and some believe in a purpose but not in such as to make any difference in our lives. Anyway, I believe we are here for a predetermined purpose and part of that is to discover what it is and then to live accordingly. So here is what helped me discover why I am here.

Bob Proctor, one of The Secret teachers and my mentor, in his article “Purpose, Vision and Goals” (I’ll send it to anyone who asks) speaks about us having specific talents and gifts that are coded into our DNA. He says, “You just don’t pick up things you like doing by chance.” And because it is coded into our very being we automatically are drawn to those things which are in accordance with that purpose. The things you like to do are most likely an indication of why you are here.

So the first thing to do is to take inventory of the things you like doing. Make a list of your hobbies and favorite pastimes and anything else you enjoy doing. Maybe you are already working at a job you really enjoy. You feel fulfilled and needed. This is important. If you don’t have this feeling in what you are doing then taking a good look at why you are doing it may be a good idea.

Next, take your list and prioritize it, putting the things you enjoy most at the top. Take the top two or three items and think of ways you can make money with them. Why make money? Well if you can pay your bills and your rent or mortgage doing the thing you enjoy doing, wouldn’t that be a big booster in your life? Make another list and for each of your top items write down, as fast as you can without thinking too long, any ideas that come to mind how you can do that thing, use it to help others, the opportunities to do it, the opportunities it will bring to you.

Now you can prioritize those lists putting to the top those ideas which you can start working on now. Beside those ideas write down how you can get started today. Note the names of any people you could meet to talk with about these ideas.

What you will have in your hands when you complete this exercise is a purpose orientated power list of ideas and people. All you have to do now is follow through on the action ideas you have noted down. Even if you don’t believe in a purpose, this exercise will help to point you in the direction of what you could be doing and to enjoy doing it. Happy hunting!

If this exercise has helped you I would love to hear from you. Write and tell me your experiences.

Why do you like doing certain things more than others? Why do some things interest you and some things don’t interest you at all? Have you noticed that when you do the things you enjoy doing you feel better and you actually feel somehow complete? Have you also noticed the conflict between what you enjoy doing and what life “demands” you should be doing? If you’ve experienced this then you are the victim of a society of pattern.

Patterns rule our modern society. We grow up to certain customs, adapt certain habits, eat certain foods at certain times, go to pre-school, school, college, university, get a job, get married, have kids, earn money, make debt - and in the midst of all this patterned life you try to find time for what you really like to do, sometimes called a hobby. Of course you enjoy your job and maybe it does bring some fulfillment, but why is your inner yearning to get out and do something else, something more enjoyable?

The reason you feel this way, the reason most people feel this way, the reason I have felt this way is one and the same. You feel frustrated because you are in the wrong boat! You are allowing Pattern to define your life instead of Purpose! A pattern is what you get when you pour ball-bearings into a tray and shake the tray so that all the ball-bearings fall into a pattern into the corner of the tray. You get a pattern when you spread some iron-filings onto a tray and place a magnet underneath. All the ball-bearings and all the iron-filings fall into a predefined pattern when an outside force is applied.

You are experiencing the same result. An outside force is causing you to fall into a predefined pattern. That outside force is society. Now for a lot of people that is a good thing. It gives them stability and sometimes security. Some people can’t cope with the pressure of following patterns and drop out of society. Then there are others who rise above it. Imagine one little ball-bearing refusing to fall into the pattern and jumps right up and out and away from the crowd and away from the outside force. The surrounding ball-bearings will be a little upset, because now there’s a hole in the pattern and they have to shuffle out of their routine pattern in order to fill the hole.

Now imagine you jumping out from your patterned environment and doing something different, something your really enjoy doing. Those around you, those with whom you have been falling into pattern, will get upset. You have upset their routine and now they must move around to adjust before they can settle back into their comfortable pattern. You can expect this reaction when you step out to follow your purpose.

And what is your purpose? In my next article I will give some tips which I believe will help you find your purpose. What is your opinion? Can we discover why we are here? If so how do you think we can uncover our purpose?
